Apple Picking!!!

Nancy and I went apple picking over the weekend. Been in this country for so many years but this is my first time picking apples. We went to Linvilla Orchard which is about 25 minutes drive from our home. Went there really early and we are the first batch of people to arrived there. At this time of the year there are no too many varieties of apple left. There are Gala, Mutsu, Golden Delicious and Jonagold. No much apple left on the trees either and what was left were too high for us to reach. At one point Nancy had to climb up the trees to get the apples. Anyway, we had a great time walking around, tasting and choosing the apples. My favourite is Jonagold which is really sweet.

Now I have to figure out what to do with the 10 pounds of apples.

I wonder why they didn't bring us here to pick our apples What am I going to do with this big bag of apples Look at the size of these apples

OMG! Geramnya tengok banyak apple! Eh! Mana pergi gambar you panjat pokok? I think they didn't let you petik there takut the pokok tumbang. The pokok look so thin. Thank you for sharing. Did you have a great time?

Zue, I suruh Nancy snap a couple of picture of me but don't know what happen to it. Tak ada kat my camera. I think she press the wrong button. I should have check it :( :( Tak apa. I plan nak pergi lagi with Diana :)

Zue is SO funny! I think they didn't allow you to pick those apples because they are younger trees in the fruit thinning stage. We planted one last year that bore a dozen apples last year. The nursery advice to prune and thinned so that the next harvest is better. This year ZERO fruit! Sigh.

How did you end up with a 10lb bag, Gert? Is the the standard per person?

I remembered when my neighbour brought a big plastic bag full of apples from her own garden. First, I didn´t know what to do then I just made fresh apple juice with a juicer, yumm..really refreshing, so..the apple bag empty soon ^_^
